Practice grammar from the material you are actually studying

Most published practice sets follow their own textbook order, so they rarely match the tense or clause you covered in class this week. If you want Cambridge grammar quizzes that line up with your course, the faster route is to generate one from the pages you already have. Upload your unit notes or a PDF of the exercises, and DeckOwl writes questions only from that text.

  • Upload unit notes, slides or an exercise PDF as the source.
  • Choose multiple-choice, true/false or open questions.
  • Read the explanation after every answer, right or wrong.
  • Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, or to QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro.

Questions from your material

Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions built from the grammar points in your own PDF, slides or notes.

Explanations for every answer

Each question shows why the right answer is right, so a wrong guess becomes a lesson on the rule.

Exports for teachers and students

Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, and to QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML on Pro for course platforms.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of a page.

Choose the question types

Pick multiple choice, true/false or open questions for the topic you are reviewing.

Practice and review

Work through the quiz in your browser and read the explanation for anything you missed.

Ready-made printable worksheets are fine for a quick warm-up, but they cannot show you which of your own sentences caused trouble. A custom quiz can be regenerated from the same material when you need more questions, and open-answer items test whether you can produce a correct structure, not just recognize it.

Use the explanations to check the rule, not just the letter you picked. Pair the quiz with a flashcard set of the key forms and you have a practice loop built from your own course.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a grammar quiz have?

Eight to twelve questions on one tense or clause is a practical length for a single sitting. Shorter sets are easier to repeat when you miss items.

How should I study for a Cambridge English grammar test?

Practice each structure in context rather than as an isolated rule. Write your own sentence for each point, then compare it with a model answer or an explanation.

Can I use DeckOwl for free?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, but exports require Plus or Pro.

Can I export the quiz to my school's learning platform?

Yes, on Pro you can export QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML. PDF and DOCX exports are included in Plus.
